Zachs Spine is Straighter Thanks to Joe DiMaggio Childrens Hospital
Zach had a 55-degree curvature of his spine — severe, progressive scoliosis. His parents trusted Michael Jofe, MD, chief of pediatric 0rthopedics at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, and his expert team, to surgically repair Zach’s spine. Memorial’s patient- and family-centered care kept Zach’s parents involved in the entire process. Zach no longer needs an uncomfortable back brace, and he stands taller—all from care he received close to home, in South Florida.
